Rave Ejay (1998) on Windows 10 64 bit

Introduction

Rave Ejay is a simple music program created by the German company PXD Musicsoft and released in 1998.
PDX software was often featured in magazines at the time, and that's how they got popular back in the day.
Despite its very simplistic nature, Rave Ejay had a decent number of samples and allowed users to easily create their music. Specifically, 90's rave music, with some trance elements too. It also came with a bunch of original demo songs, enough to fill an album.
Rave Ejay ran on Windows 95 and 98, but with some tricks it can be made to work on Windows 10 as well.
